Design of Liquid Ammonia Battery
Abstract
The report summarizes work done in the design of a primary reserve liquid ammonia battery capable of satisfying the particular requirements of one application which include 24-volt multitap output delivering eight voltage levels at various currents for a period of 50 hours at -65F to +160F. Efforts consisted principally of packaging of existing liquid ammonia chemistry in an advanced mechanical configuration. Major innovations in design were yielded in the form of activation mechanics and the minimization of intercell electrical leakage. All technical specifications were met by the resultant design except for voltage regulation at each output tap for the entire discharge period. (Author)
